Any other input regarding experiences with the polarizer would be most appreciated! >> Leica also sells a second (extended) 46 adaptor for the 135 Tele-Elmar as well as a 49mm adaptor for the 3rd generation 28 Elmarit and the new 135 APO. There are no Leica adaptors for 55 or 60. However, using plans I read about, I constructed a homemade 55mm adaptor I used with my 90 Summicron until I sold it. The only 55mm lens I have now is the 21 ASPH and I haven't tried it on that one to see if it vignettes. (Polarizers sometimes do funny things on ultra-wide angles). DT
